Of the two singers, the bright-voiced Damrau is the more nuanced and precise with text…Kaufmann, husky and intense, has less in his Lieder toolkit but he is completely committed to the material…he... — Gramophone Magazine, February 2019

This 7CD set is the fruit of the love affair that developed in Paris between Leonard Bernstein and the Orchestre National de France in the 1970s. Beside long-admired studio recordings, featuring Mstislav Rostropovich and Alexis Weissenberg among the soloists, it presents live performances completely new to the catalogue: a 1975 programme to celebrate Ravel’s centenary – with Bernstein himself as soloist in the G major piano concerto – and orchestral suites taken from two of Bernstein’s most celebrated and brilliant works, both infused with jazz: the film score On the Waterfront and the landmark Broadway musical West Side Story.

Limited Edition 79-CD + 2-DVD covering all the major roles Nilsson performed – 27 full-length operas including 2 full Wagner ‘Ring’ cycles.
Birgit Nilsson’s complete Decca, Philips and Deutsche Grammophon recordings marking her 100th birthday and produced with the full support of the Birgit Nilsson Foundation.

Limited edition 12-CD collection celebrating Christa Ludwig’s 90th birthday, through a selection of her legendary recordings for Deutsche Grammophon, Decca and Philips of opera and sacred arias, oratorio and Lieder.
Includes recordings with the trinity of great conductors with whom she famously worked: Karl Böhm, Herbert von Karajan and Leonard Bernstein.
Includes the first international release of a witty, endearing German interview conducted by Thomas Voigt (2007) in which Ms Ludwig discusses the conductors - Bernstein and Karajan among them - with whom she collaborated over her long and successful career.
60pp booklet with a new and exclusive interview with Gramophone editor-in-chief James Jolly (English/German) and an English transcript of the interview with Voigt.

A logical, albeit little performed combination of the first three symphonies by a highly gifted young Shostakovich, who went on to lend his astonishing orchestration talents to a host of avant-garde theatre and ballet productions and to the budding film industry. Although a true activist, he enjoyed the protection of a General and the CultureMinister (that is, until they were discretely eliminated). Here is an unexpected selection, in turn amusing or mainstream, but never vulgar.

The recordings of Karl Böhm have lately enjoyed a well-deserved renaissance. The Austrian conductor’s emphasis on rhythmic, textural and structural clarity give us timeless interpretations of Mozart (his greatest love), as well as Beethoven, Schubert, Brahms, Richard Strauss, Haydn and Mahler.
"Böhm possesses an exceptionally fine feeling for the tempo of a composition; under his baton the "correct" tempo seems to be established of its own accord.” GRAMOPHONE
